JIF Consultancy - Transitioning in Jordan / Technical support to NGOs

Created in 2014, the Jordan INGO Forum (JIF) is an independent network of 61 international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) implementing development and humanitarian programs in Jordan targeting vulnerable Jordanians and refugees from Syria, Iraq, and Palestine

Objective of the study

As Jordan experiences the humanitarian and development nexus, JIF needs to ensure that the JIF members are better prepared for this progressive shift and that the transition into a more development focused approach does not overshadow the important humanitarian needs and response.

The first objective would be to inform, alert and prepare JIF members and the humanitarian community at large for the next steps of the ‘Nexus’. This would enable INGOs to be able to influence the future processes. The study should provide a more holistic analysis of the current development frameworks impacting Jordan and produce facts sheets summarizing them for wider dissemination.

By developing a coordinated position on the “status based” / “vulnerability based” / “resilience based” debate in Jordan, the second objective will be to ensure that JIF members are better informed and equipped to make decisions for their own INGOs. Ideally this would also help shape a unified JIF vision and allow JIF to speak externally to ensure that the humanitarian needs of vulnerable populations of Jordan are met and that policy and both humanitarian and development programming enhance their resilience

The consultant is expected to start as early as April, 22nd 2019 and this for an estimated period of 30 working days. The deadline to produce the listed documents is June,7th 2019.

Qualifications

University degree in Public Policy/Administration, Development, International Relations, Humanitarian Affairs, or a related field

6-10 years of experience working with humanitarian and/or refugee programs, with expertise in both resilience and humanitarian programing
